I was born and raised in San Francisco and witnessed the growth of the Internet and the companies built on it first hand. I picked up coding at a very young age, and have been a developer in some way for the majority of my life. I have been using WordPress for way too long, I think my first build of WordPress was 0.7 and been a user or developer in some capacity since. Today I like to focus more on what I can build with WordPress that pushes the boundaries of what people think WordPress can do. I also like taking other technologies and finding a way to use them in WordPress.
I also love the community that WordPress has, and am building plugins and web applications which I hope work as tools to help bring the community together. Through ARC(CTRL) we have had the chance to build some great plugins that, as well as web applications like CodingOfficeHours which help people connect and get help from other people in the community.
